“Sherri Hill’s Fall 2019 collection kicks off the show with dazzling embellished dollar signs on plush black velvet, a perfect representation of the overall theme-pure luxury. Geometric print beading in fun multicolor as well as classic black and white are reminiscent of the 80’s and 90’s, major trends for the season. Embellished head-to-toe animal print brings a sense of power and fierceness to the runway.” From Sherri Hill

“The featured colors this season–bright warm yellow, eccentric chartreuse green, and bold fuchsia–are as unique as the collection itself. Shades of blue also turn heads in this collection, from pale and icy to rich sapphire. Deep red gowns with gold beading emulate the opulence of Baroque fashions. Light and airy chiffon skirts walk alongside fitted gowns dripping in sparkle. Unique necklines flatter the décolletage and deliver high fashion elegance. The show’s finale gowns include sheer ivory and nude, as we’ll as the major show stopper–metallic pale gold.” From Sherri Hill

Elizabeth Kennedy ’s Spring collection dazzles. At the urging of Bergdorf Goodman, Elizabeth debuted her first evening wear collection in 2012. Prior to that she designed in-demand couture for BG’s clients and headed Donna Karen Atelier. For the Spring 2018 RTW collection she mentions René Magritte as a creative influence.

"I just want to take you to my world,” read the show notes at Reem Acra’s Spring 2016 show. Acra, a Lebanon native, wanted to show who she was in this collection by combining her past and present life. She transplanted us to a Middle Eastern glamour fairy tale straight out of 'One Thousand And One Nights', where some of the gowns were definitely fit for a queen.

There were also more bohemian, through-the-looking-glass versions of gowns that were common in the ’60s.
